it quite a feeling isnt it Rod.
I got some sort of sense of achievement when cheryl came up to see the comet for the first time, she doesnt even like me talking astro stuff with her cause she gets bored of it...
and then she came up a second time
and of her own accord. I was at my comet watching spot (about 200m up the top of the hill from home) watching said comet with a couple of unknown guys when i heard a noise behind me. she had just decided to come up for a look. I was pretty chuffed
I think that in some cases, even non astro people realise the significance of the event.
